I had the pleasure of driving a v6 with a manual transmission prior to getting my purchasing my kona 5.0 and found the sixer to be a nice driving respectable performer. How would you rate the automatic 3.7 as a performance vehicle? Does the automatic transmission do this excellent little motor justice?

Scale of 1 - 10
Performance -- 8.5+
Style -- 9.5+
Comfortableness -- 9.0+
The only thing that i deduct points for is on the performance The switch from 1st to 2nd gear takes a while when trying to accelerate quickly.

Thanks! There all with my 2 year old Verizon Voyager, so they are alright. I'm actually hoping I can find a decent camera on sale soon, so I can get better pic's
But the compliment was much appreciated despite the camera phone =P

Not surprised, I was absolutely impressed with the 3.7 that I test drove. Amazing performance for 6 cylinders, and the delivery is awesomely smooth.

^ +1 I was very surprised when i test drove as well, I love how the V6 still pushes through each gear, it doesn't fade off a little at gear change (auto). and the handling is great, i love what ford has been producing ..
I just have a couple problems that seems to be some what common
Squeaky driver seat (Probably just needs to be tightened)
Something rattling in the dash when the roads are bumpy
And when flooring it from 0, the change from 1st to 2nd takes a while
